This book is a very informative guide explaining the way the body works and metabolizes fats and carbs. Although a bit repetitive at times, it gives valuable information on how to restructure our eating as lifestyle instead of crazy dieting. I would like to re-review after a few weeks because I have been following this for only a few days now and although I have never been much of an eater and remained the same healthy weight for years, the menopause dragons have left me with new love handles that won't seem to go away no matter what I do. So far it's been only 4 days of staying just below 100 grams of carbs, my usual exercises, and I haven't lost a pound. I will definitely say though, I used to crave snacks a lot at night and by the time dinner time rolls around, I'm not really hungry and at night I have no interest in snacking. There is much truth to - when you eat clean, you lose the bad cravings.
Adding to my review: It has been almost one week now that I have altered how I intake my food. I have lost one pound and I have also had a few conversations in email with Ari Whitten. He was kind enough to email me when he read my initial review to clarify his stand on carbs, which I may have misconstrued. He did not advise me to eat under 100 grams of carbs a day as that would lead to slowing down my metabolism. He also went over his process, explaining how the fat dissipates in a slower time as we follow his eating strategy and this eating plan generally won't show lost numbers on the scale quickly, rather inches will be recognized more than the scale numbers itself. Although I understood this initially, I was interested in Ari's approach because I am in the category of people only looking to lose 5-10 stubborn pounds that have found me during menopause, and this type of hormonal weight gain is sometimes a different animal than normal excess weight. I applaud Ari Whitten for being so passionate and knowledgeable in his book and for taking the time to read his reader's reviews and offering his feedback with further explanation accompanied by more solutions. Thank you Ari Whitten!

I’ve been on so many “lose weight quick” diets. I always lose weight in the beginning only to gain it all back and then some. I’ve been dieting for most of my life. I must have started when I was 13. I’ve been beating myself up for years unable to understand why the “calories in, calories out” approach wasn’t working for me. I felt like such a failure.
I recently had the pleasure of attending one of Ari’s presentations. I left feeling energized and interested and couldn’t wait to know more of his work. In his presentation he described much of what is in his book, however, Forever Fat Loss includes much more detail.
This book explains the gap between what science knows about fat loss and what the health/fitness/diet industry tells us. I’ve known for a while that processed food is bad for me but I didn’t understand why. Ari uses simple language backed by science to explain:
- The body fat set point system
- The neurological causes of fat gain
- The cellular/hormonal causes of fat gain
- Why counting calories doesn’t work for permanent fat loss
Forever Fat Loss is incredibly informational and a relatively short read. The book concludes with sample menus and tips on how to achieve permanent fat loss in the most painless way possible. No more going hungry, feeling fatigued, or giving up carbs.
I can finally stop blaming myself for what others called a lack of will power. I now feel armed with the knowledge necessary to make solid decisions about my health without being paralyzed and demotivated by my guilt.
I recommend this book to anyone who has struggled with fat loss or has been on any kind of diet. Stop depriving yourself and making it painful. There’s a better way! Forever Fat Loss explains how.

Forever Fat Loss: Escape the Low Calorie and Low Carb Diet Traps and Achieve Effortless and Permanent Fat Loss by Working with Your Biology Instead of Against It is kind of an ambitious (and way too long) title, but the book makes sense. It talks a lot about eating whole, unprocessed foods and about the importance of moving throughout the day, not just when you go to the gym. He would like you to have a treadmill desk at work, which is obviously not feasible for everyone, but I get the idea. Sitting still for 7+ hours a day is just not good for us. We were built to be moving. I haven’t figured out what to do about that yet. I think I’m going to pick up one of those under the desk pedal things.
The end of the book includes a checklist to go over daily that hits the highlights of the book. I don’t do very well yet. Some processed foods are hard to give. He also wants you to eat little to no grains, legumes, lentils, and nut/seed products, not because he’s an avoid wheat person, but because his outlook is that you can get the same nutrients and fiber from other, better sources.
Is this book going to help me lose weight – we’ll see. His outlook is to lose weight slowly and reset your body, rather than lose a bunch quickly , but just gain it all back in a year. I think his approach makes sense, though.
The one bad thing about the book is that there is a lot of repetition. It’s like he didn’t have quite enough material so things get repeated. Also, the “printable” checklist wasn’t so printable for me. I read this on my Kindle and don’t know how to print off of it. I actually typed it up though. I’m a bit of a geek and think I have a chance at actually following the advise if I have a list to check off/add up my points.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to permanently lose fat and get their body back to its natural state of being lean. The writing style is straight-forward and the book is packed with citations to studies - Ari certainly has done his homework! His approach is amazingly simple and doable - liberating is the word that kept coming to mind as I read through Forever Fat Loss. I started implementing his approach as I read the book - I stopped logging every morsel that crossed my lips and agonizing over every calorie eaten/burned - and guess what? I didn't gain any weight - in fact, I gained muscle and lost some inches and enjoyed eating again without the stress of counting calories! Thank you Ari!!

Lots of great info BUT the first 25% is so repetitive it could possibly drive a person nuts.
Also, what's with having the suggestions to avoid processed foods, yet menu suggestions include protein powders. "If it doesn't run, fly, swim, or grow out of the ground as a fruit or vegetable, don't eat it!" For pete's sake, grain is actually a type of fruit, and thus closer to fitting the parameters of that quote than protein powders.

Very useful and informative book on weight loss . It debunks most of the myths about fat loss but what I really don’t like about this book that it was too repetitive and its ideas can be summed up in few sentences
Don’t eat processed foods
Avoid sitting, stand up and move more
Get natural sunlight during the day
Eat whole foods
That’s pretty much all the ideas discussed in the book but the author kept repeating the same info over and over again and he didn’t have to do that unless he backs up these info with more research and case studies which this book lacks but overall it is really good book that will help anyone to be on the right track on their fat loss journey.

Diet books should really be reviewed months after reading. Once you know if the advice actually works. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, to use a wildly ironic idiom. That said, I was very attracted to Whitten's advice. It's an "expulsive power of a new affection" approach to dieting, and I like it. Rather than cut things out of your diet, add things. The right things. Look to maximize every calorie by eating whole, unprocessed foods. Use those to replace the addictive, "high reward" foods that compel you to overeat. I'll let you know how it goes.
Notes:
audible
Thesis: Fat Loss isn’t about will power and starvation. It's about biology.
The starvation programs of "The Biggest Loser" resulted in metabolic changes. Contestants' bodies were actually burning fewer calories after the show
Burns muscle. Causes fatigue, resulting in a desire to do less exercise.
Comparing food deprivation to sleep deprivation. Makes sense
Body weight is exactly the same as oxygen and sleep. It's biologically regulated.
Body fat set-point
Trying to clear away darkness with your hands
We didn't get fat because we consciously decided to start eating more. It's that our biology drove us to do so. We must eliminate the factors that caused us to do so.
Environmental factors are driving our biology to overeat calories.
When we gain weight, our bodies are "defending" a higher set point
Low calorie/low carb diet traps
Author says when caloric intake is equal, there is no difference between weight loss on calorie vs. carb restricted diets.
Lower the bodies set-point? Personal note: dubious promise
When non-obese cultures move to the western world, they suddenly become obese.
Highly "rewarding" foods work like addictive drugs
A high food reward diet drives overconsumption of calories and leads to obesity.
We can tell this is going on because we find ourselves eating for the neurological pleasure -- not because our bodies need the food (In other words, because we're hungry)
We get fat because we become neurologically addicted to processed foods.
We can be "full", but only for specific foods. It's why you can eat desert even when you're "stuffed"
No need to limit salt
Too much food variety drives chronic overconsumption
Rather than asking "what should I remove from my diet", ask "What are the ideal sources of nutrients that support optimal metabolic function"
Intentionally seeking out ideal sources of nutrients
making food recommends. Not because they're bad, but because they're not optimal. For instance, veggies for carbs over grains. Fish and eggs for protein instead of nuts, legumes. Butter and olive oil for fat instead of nuts.
Says Gary Taubes is just wrong
Forced caloric deprivation by restricting calories and upping exercise results in short-term weigh loss but at the cost of metabolic damage.
Personal note: I need to find ways to move more
Sitting = metabolism slowdown
Recommends a diet entirely comprised of whole, unprocessed foods
Processed foods overrides the body set point because it allows you to consume a lot more calories before feeling full
overcome your food addictions by giving in to your cravings. Want something sweet? Eat something sweet. Want something fatty? Eat something fatty. But choose a whole, unprocessed foods
Eat simple meals
Sitting makes you sick and fat. Move your body as constantly as possible
Recommended meals should consist of: Animal proteins, fruits, and vegetables
The expulsive power of a new affection
Only eat when you're hungry. Quit eating when you're full
only snack if you have to
Give your body what it craves, but give it the best version

I am giving this 4-stars for having helpful information. It is repetitive. Very repetitive! But if you can borrow it from Amazon like I did or get it for Kindle when on sale then it is worth a read if you struggle with losing and gaining weight.
I have been slowly changing my lifestyle for several years now and this book fit into that forward movement. I am always looking for strategies that move fat out of my cells and out of my body without the resulting regain of even more fat.
I have been pretty diligent over the last year in getting the required sleep. My Fitbit has helped with that.
I am especially intrigued by the idea of moving more frequently. As a sedentary person I find that very difficult. The Fitbit has helped me move more, but I was still getting all my steps in at one go. I now get 12,000 steps a day and since reading this book I am trying to concentrate more on not sitting too long at one time. As a consequence I have read more audiobooks this year. Whenever I jump up to walk for 10 minutes I listen to my audiobook. I do not prefer audiobooks but I am happy I can exercise and read. I am anxious to see if this new movement pattern throughout the day helps in my continual weight loss journey.
I struggle to eat protein so I am working on that and also more clean eating of whole foods. Baby steps.
This book is more like a pamphlet and would be even more so if it was edited properly but it is a helpful pamphlet. (Don't you hate was goes by the name of book in these Kindle days?)

Get Off The Weight Loss Treadmill Forever
Finally - a common sense, yet scientifically supported approach to permanent weight loss. Having battled and lost an extra 40 lbs several years ago, keeping it off has taken serious, concentrated effort. Now I understand why. It's not me, it's my biology!
Previously vegan and then vegetarian, I wasn't able to lose, much less sustain weight loss. Now a meat-loving, low carb devotee I've successfully shed the unwanted pounds, but am often still hungry, food obsessed and the weight is slowly creeping back on.
This book for me, is like a life preserver in a sea of so called "experts".
If you've ever struggled with getting weight off, keeping weight off or just want to feel good again then this book is for you.

Excellent and very motivating! I really loved this book. As someone who's been battling the proverbial "ten extra pounds" her entire life, I found the science behind the author's theory convincing and his system excellent - revolutionary even.
It does demand quite a few changes in one's lifestyle though, but they're ultimately for the better. Apparently, the author has already had the book professionally edited which is why I didn't notice any of the issues (repetitiveness, etc) mentioned by other reviewers. I just kept reading wishing the book was ten times longer. Overall, a very fresh and no-nonsense approach to weight loss.

Despite the author's protestations to the contrary, this is really just paleo. Or, rather, paleo-light. It's paleo with dairy (so, primal), white potatoes (which many paleo authors/doctors now accept as part of the diet) and occasional properly prepared grains/legumes (so, WAPF meets paleo).
There is absolutely nothing new here.

A science-based and very balanced approach to sustainable fat-loss. It's anti calorie-counting, anti macronutrient or food groups restrictions of any kind and pro whole foods and healthy relationship with food. Very good for people who need healing from chronic dieting or who have fallen victims of diet dogmas of any sort.

VERY REPETITIVE! didn't learn enough new information to be impressed.
January 17, 2019
This book really changed my perspective on fat loss and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I already intuitively thought my own body should naturally maintain a healthy weight without overthinking it. I’ve tried other weight loss diets and exercise only to end up regaining all the weight I lost and even gaining a few more pounds. Oddly enough, or so I thought, when I was not doing anything my weight would stay the same always. Little did I know I was working against my body’s biology.
I’m hoping to edit this review to see if I get any results on this new approach to fat loss.

Thought provoking
Though I don't agree that exercise is unnecessary for long term weight loss I don't think it is necessary to go body builder mode in every workout. I enjoyed the book as a while. Though you did almost lose me dye to your tone in the first few chapters. Overall, I will definitely be recommending it to people. At the very least it gives a coherent and different point of view.

Common sense information. Worth a read!
This book is super repetitive, so you can skim it pretty quickly. The main point is stop buying in to quick fix diets and weight loss programs. It’s about eating what is natural...God-given, not created in a lab and packaged in a factory. The bottom line is processed foods are toxic and we should avoid them for optimal weight AND overall health. Good sleep, less screen time and movement are necessary to get back to optimal well-being.

Very intelligent reasonable argument!
This is a scanable book in which you will receive a revolutionary means to resolving a lifetime of fat loss failure. I hope it will work for me. It makes sense. Unfortunately, the argument could have been stated in a chapter, but to sell a book it was expanded by repeating, repeating, repeating....yawn. Not uncommon among today’s authors though.

Made sense
I admit I did skim over some parts that sounded scientific or technical since it didn’t hold my attention. However, eating as described and making the simple changes to my life makes total sense to me! If I had seen the authors picture before reading the book, I probably wouldn’t have. In my mind, I was seeing a fit, healthy person as the author not someone who looked like a bodybuilder. Just my thoughts...

Thank you, Ari Whitten! I have said to my husband many times before, "How am I not losing weight? How can science not work for me?" You explained the reasoning behind my weight, energy, and general health issues. I so appreciate this book and all that you do to share all of your knowledge after years of research and study. I am looking forward to implementing all of your advice. Thank you!

Esclarecedor en muchos aspectos, sobretodo en cuanto a la teoría del balance energético y la insulina. Interesante también su punto de vista acerca de las dietas low-carb y en porqué puede producir problemas de salud a largo plazo. En el fondo la conclusión del libro no es para nada nueva, aún así aporta ideas muy interesantes. Recomendado.

nothing new here, but it does. give sound advice
after nay saying eating less and exercising more, he offers that very advice worded different. the fact is we do need to eat less or no processed food and get more exercise. he calls it move more which is the same thing to my way of thinking.

The approach seems to be good. I would always wonder that how come fat loss is so difficult while human beings are making phenomenal progress in all other fields. This book offers a simple yet powerful solution which makes sense. Have to implement it to check the data but the science behind fat loss seems correct to me.
December 17, 2017
Great at understanding the science. Not sure if I buy into all of the conclusions that are drawn from the research, but certainly helps understand why most diets don't work in the long run. Made me think differently about that.

A different perspective
A different perspective about weight loss. It is tempting to try as it offers a sustainable fat loss solution. Also, this approach counteracts traditional weight loss problem such as slow metabolism, fatigue, and sleeping disorder.

Change of paradigms
Nicely written, great scientific background, just have to think out of the box to get what Ari proposes, which, by the way, is a very easy and healthy lifestyle...
